Johann Scheibe - Organ Builder in Leipzig at the Time of Bach (Hardcover)

In his nearly forty-year career, Johann Scheibe became Leipzig's
most renowned organ builder and one of the late Baroque's masters
of the craft. Johann Sebastian Bach and Johann Kuhnau considered
Scheibe a valued colleague. Organists and civic leaders shared
their high opinion, for Scheibe built or rebuilt every one of the
city's organs. Drawing on extensive research and previously
untapped archival materials, Lynn Edwards Butler explores Scheibe's
professional relationships and the full range of his projects.
These assignments included the three-manual organ for St. Paul's
Church, renovations of the organs in the important churches of St.
Thomas and St. Nicholas, and the lone surviving example of
Scheibe's craft, a small organ in the nearby village of Zschortau.
Viewing Scheibe within the context of the era, Butler illuminates
the music scene of Bach's time as she follows the life of a gifted
craftsman and his essential work on an instrument that anchored
religious musical practice and community.
